REally lovely!
Mila ~ that is so beautiful, no wonder you decided to keep it for yourself..
Love the Tourmaline and after my first recent experience with tube setting this
is definitely inspirational for me!
What stone sizes are they and any tips on lining up three tubes like that?

Cymru am byth!
The tourmaline was 7mm (I made a bezel for that) and the tube set zircons were 3mm. I soldered the centre setting onto the band first, then soldered one tube setting one side, then one the other side - I used Tip-ex to protect each joint which was the first time I'd tried that, and was quite impressed
Gorgeous! Tube settings are my favourite.
Technical question: What does the tippex do to protect the joint? Is it an alternative to using heat protective paste?

Would yellow oxide (I think that's what its called) work as well for joint protection while soldering?
